^^ Look at my username, it should be easy to tell which dude is me in that conversation.

I'm a Lakers fan obviously, but not a fan with a long history of sticking with them through hard times..ever since LeBron became the biggest bandwagon in the world, and all these fans who don't know anything about basketball started making outrageous claims about his "greatness", I've been a huge Laker fan because I think that Kobe Bryant is the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball. The Blazers are my favorite team, but the Lakers are the best team in basketball..and when you argue that with people who think otherwise on a near-daily basis..it gets personal to you.
